Chapter 23 Siege
The torch illuminated the dark cave and left countless messy shadows. The battle has been going on for some time, although Mona has warned Mayor Bender that the cavemen have noticed the existence of the camp and their attack may come at any time.
.But the mayor firmly believes that those stupid cave creatures are not enough of a threat to this camp. The soldiers of Sweetwater Town can deal with the cavemen. His confidence is justified. As a relatively wealthy town, Sweetwater Town itself
Although there are not many armed forces, the equipment is very sophisticated. Even the armors of those guards make the three soldiers of the Frost Legion a little jealous. This is also a normal thing. As a town mainly based on commerce, Tianshui Town is more
Good order is more needed in other places, and in order to resist bandits, the guards in the town are indeed stronger than those in other towns.
However, as the female warrior said privately to others, although the Sweetwater Town guards are well-equipped, they are not soldiers. They can be used to maintain law and order and even deter bandits, but they are not suitable for entering the battlefield. Facts have proved
According to Mona, the caveman's raid was expected, but it is also reasonable. These large and small caves are the caveman's backyard. If you want to spend an entire day quietly in someone's backyard,
In winter, they underestimated these cavemen too much. But what a few people didn't expect was that the intensity of those cavemen's attacks was far beyond their imagination.
"Gods of the North, how come there are so many cavemen in Dragon's Back Mountain!" Hahn sighed as he chopped down an enemy who tried to climb the wall with an axe.
"I've seen three big guys alone. Damn it, when did these guys become so united?" "Monkey" also chimed in as he shot down a caveman in the distance who was about to throw stones with an arrow.
Indeed, the current situation is very pessimistic. A large number of cavemen surround the camp like a tide. If it were not for the three-person high wooden wall that blocked their steps, the residents of Sweetwater Town would have been unable to resist.
However, even so, a large number of cavemen also made this defense line crumbling. These wooden fences were not built for fighting, and they never expected to be hit by such a ferocious attack. Fortunately, Cheese used magic in time.
The strength of the wooden wall has been strengthened, otherwise the cavemen only need to throw stones to smash the outer wall of the camp.
This is a very abnormal phenomenon. Judging from the experience of the Frost Guards against the cavemen, these creatures with low IQs all use a big man as their leader and appear in a tribe. Due to the lack of food, a group of cavemen with a leader
The number of human tribes usually does not exceed a hundred, and even if two tribes meet, they will fight endlessly for food. Even if the enemy is present, they have never worked together. But the current group of cavemen, whether they are
The number of its members and the number of cavemen who have been discovered are far beyond the normal range. These caveman tribes seemed to have reached some agreement, temporarily put aside their hostility to each other, and attacked the camp in Sweetwater Town with all their strength.
"I'm afraid we've been tricked." Cheese held a wooden stick in his right hand and hit the caveman's head with the iron-clad top, knocking the opponent out instantly.
"You mean someone is driving these cavemen to attack us?" Mona swept down the enemy in front of her with a sweeping kick, and the battle ax split open the opponent's head mercilessly.
"Yes, there are traces of magic on these cavemen. I think someone used magic like mind control on them." The mage waved his wooden staff horizontally to block the stone ax that was coming towards him, and the mage kicked it.
The caveman who attacked him kicked down the fence.
"The other sides can't stand it anymore!" Elsa held two daggers and rushed over from another direction. As the most agile person in the group, she was assigned to wander around various defense zones to provide support.
"Are those guards not even as good as the four of us? We can hold a wall, but they can't?" "Wild Boar" shouted angrily. Indeed, as the most powerful force, the
Si and others were able to defend one of the four camp walls with only four men, but the soldiers guarding other directions were retreating steadily in the face of the caveman's attacks.
"There is no other way. If you let the patrols who can only catch a thief fight these guys, you might as well hope that these cavemen will retreat on their own." The female warrior said indifferently.
"But this is not the way to go. Even if we can hold it, it will be very troublesome if one side loses it." Jack said.
"Hey, mage, can you still make a rock fall or something like last time?" Hahn asked.
Although they don't say it, several soldiers know that if there is anyone who can save this camp now, it must be Cheese. The incredible power exerted by the mage is also the key to why they can fight so hard.
If Si is not here, I am afraid these soldiers should consider how to retreat now. This is not because they are afraid, but because they want to protect this simple camp in the hands of such a large number of cavemen.
All the guards used in the army have been replaced by frost guards who have experienced many battles, and only with the command of the old commander Jon can we have a chance.
"No, there are too many cavemen. I'm afraid I can't cast spells on such a large scale now." The mage shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.
This made Elsa feel disappointed but relieved. In fact, when everyone was looking forward to Cheese's answer, Elsa was a little hesitant in her heart. On the one hand, she really wanted Cheese's protection.
The townspeople in this camp, no matter what, are the people of the entire town. But on the other hand, since Cheese confessed that every time he cast a spell, he would pay a price that ordinary people can't understand, the boss lady really didn't know
Should we expect the power of magic? You know, Cheese has cast a spell to strengthen the walls of the entire camp. What price will this magical power cost the mage? Elsa is not willing to guess.
Putting aside the boss's wife, the other three people's faces darkened after hearing Cheese's answer. The mage's statement meant that it was really difficult to defend this camp. They exchanged glances with each other and seemed to be doing something.
some kind of decision.
"In this case, we have to prepare to retreat." The female warrior Mona said. Their mission is not to protect this camp. Although the honor of the warriors drives them to help, in the final analysis, the mission of these Frost Guards is to ensure that the cheese
safety. Even when necessary, they have to sacrifice themselves for the mage.
"Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turn for the better." Of course Cheese could guess what Mona and the others meant. In fact, he still had a few preparations for his experience outside. But if those methods were used, it would affect his adult life this time.
Evaluation of the mission, so the mage did not want to use these cards unless it was absolutely necessary. Cheese was also hesitating whether to spend a huge price to save the residents of Sweetwater Town who once regarded him as an enemy.
However, just when the mage was about to force himself to make a choice, an accident happened.
"For the Empire! In the name of the Hammer, kill all these cavemen!" A high-pitched war cry came from the other side of the cave. The cavemen in that direction separated like butter cut by a sharp blade, forming a brightly armored team.
